I was just pointing out what the guide said:

"FIRSTŪ has specified the Jaguar (MDL-BDC) module for FRC 2009 and beyond. Therefore, Jaguar (MDL-BDC) contains some unused (and not permitted for use) features for FRC 2009, such as Controller Area Network, Analog Input, and Quadrature Encoder Input. How and when these additional features might be used in FRC 2010 and beyond will be disclosed at the sole discretion of FIRSTŪ."

And

"Q Since we are not permitted to use the CAN connectors for the 2009 competition season, what should we do with them?
A We recommend putting electrical tape over the top of the connectors to prevent debris from getting into the connector. Be careful not to cover the vent slots on the side of the Jaguar plastics when putting the tape in place. Two short 1" segments should be enough to cover the connectors while not obstructing the air flow venting, the status
LED, or the PWM connector."

It doesn't say they are disabled, just unused and not permitted for use.
